We designed our socks to give you the absolute best of both fibers. 🐑🦙
The alpaca brings exceptional softness, lightweight warmth, and hypoallergenic properties, while the sheep’s wool adds crucial durability, and elasticity.
Crafted without any dyes, these natural tones come straight from the herds grown within 300 miles of NYC. It’s the perfect balance of cozy and resilient.
Join our team! 🐑 We’re seeking a Carbon Farm Plan Coordinator to support the planning, design, and implementation of conservation projects on small- to mid-scale farms across New York State that we partner with through our yarn + textile development programs.

The fibers in our 50/50 wool and alpaca socks were grown on climate-beneficial soils right here in NY State. By sourcing directly from small farms through the Carbon Farm Network, every step supports regenerative agriculture. Good for the soil, the local economy, and your feet.

A fiber blend is only an idea until people bring it to life. Brought together through NYFIC, our collaboration with Seed2Shirt creates a distributed network that mimics the mutual benefits found in natural ecosystems. By connecting our New York farmers with Seed2Shirt’s network of Upland Cotton growers, we are building an equitable, farm-forward supply chain rooted in two regions. Choosing these pieces means prioritizing the well-being of the people who shape our textiles and the environment we share. Explore the collaboration- link in bio
Our transitional yarn is a meeting of two regions. We blended 50% Upland Cotton from Seed2Shirt’s Afro-indigenous cotton systems with 25% Climate Beneficial™ NYS Wool and 25% NYS Alpaca from our local fibershed. Each fiber brings its natural characteristics to the finished piece: the cotton breathes as the days warm up, while the wool and alpaca provide a gentle loft to cut the chill of a spring breeze. Left entirely undyed and cultivated on healthy soils, this blend is a direct reflection of the farms that grew it. Explore the collaboration- link in bio
This season brings a welcome, undeniable shift. As we look for layers that breathe with the unpredictable temperatures, we are thrilled to share our NYFIC collaboration with Seed2Shirt! We blended our Climate Beneficial™ NYS wool and alpaca with Upland Cotton from Afro-indigenous cotton systems in Seed2Shirt’s network. The result is a transitional-weight yarn designed to bridge the seasons. The cotton offers breathability, while the wool and alpaca provide gentle warmth to cut the chill of an early spring breeze.

We believe textile production should thrive through regenerative, collaborative systems, not extraction or scarcity. By keeping our production small-scale and local through the Carbon Farm Network, we provide more resources directly to our farmers. This ensures a traceable, transparent ecosystem where soil, animals, and people thrive together.
There is a deep comfort in knowing exactly where your clothing begins. The Raglan Sweater was designed for the crisp, transitional mornings of spring, but its story starts in the soil. Crafted from a 50/50 blend of wool and alpaca, these fibers are grown right here in our region on farms practicing carbon drawdown. With a relaxed, roomy fit and simple rolled hem, it breathes and moves with you. When you pull this sweater on, you are wrapping yourself in materials that actively restore our local earth.
(Available in sizes S-XXL. Link in bio to explore Spring Layers.)
Spring means much more than lighter layers and open windows, it represents a crucial awakening beneath our feet. 🌱 Right now, the small New York State farms in our Carbon Farm Network are actively regenerating the land. As sheep and alpacas return to fresh pastures, healthy soil acts like a sponge, drawing down carbon from the atmosphere as the earth comes back to life. This natural cycle is the foundation of every textile we create. Explore CBV spring layers - link in bio
while traveling i made a point to stop at the Cold Springs farmers market to visit @nytextilelab & @nyfibershed . The Fibershed Affiliate network has made it easy to seek out sustainable fashion.
NY Fibershed & NY Textile Lab has done an incredible job of bringing to market fiber from this region that you can actually wear:
a region that is known as one of the fashion epicenters of the world - but the actual supply chain to connect to the earth through fashion is so far removed and inaccessible to most.
Wearing something made in New York nowadays usually means you are donning fabric made elsewhere. Most fashion lacks a regenerative connection to the environment. The fashion industry NYC is known for is one of privilege, exploitation, and oppression- of people & planet.
NY Textile Lab & Fibershed is changing that. They offer fashion pieces that are made with regional fiber that supports carbon sequestering practices. Now that is a fashion statement.
right after the market visit we met up with my lovers’ childhood friends in his hometown at a brewery that is housed in the relic of a closed down textile factory along the Hudson. There had been textile factories all around the Hudson River back in the heyday. They said when they grew up here in the 90s it was full of crackheads.
I asked - “before it busted & crackheads ruled the streets, what was the boom?”
“Textiles” - like the brewery we were in.
a physical reminder of how the creation of textiles & fashion has been moved away from us.
.
Fashion is a zeitgeist for the culture we tolerate, participate in, & thus perpetuate. we have lost a connection to our bodies & earth that fashion has the ability to manifest as… if chosen. I choose that connection.
I reject a world that perpetuates oppression. i am committed to building a world where we ENJOY the connection to our bodies & earth thru fashion. It’s all connected.
The fibershed network has been incredible because it builds, nourishes, & allows access to the magic of what our environment offers us in fiber & regional artisanship. It is a connection to community - through fashion.
A New York Fashion story i am happy to support.
